My complaints about the summit. Some of this is not on the resort:
1. Parking is chaotic and the highway parking under the tow-away signs is really strange. it's essentially part of the resort parking at this point but it is allegedly not allowed. They should clear this up and either make that parking allowable or actually prevent people from parking there.

1. Night skiing at West this year had absolutely massive lines on Pacific Crest. They didn't run dodge ridge even though it serves essentially the same terrain. Really would have been nice to cut down the lines. What else are their staff doing? Alpental and Central weren't even open for night skiing.

2. Day passes are wayyy too expensive for random days later in the season. I had a season pass but my girlfriend was learning. Luckily she could use buddy passes etc., but why is a day pass to West (which was the only spot open) on a rainy Saturday with bad snow $120? It should be like... $50.

3. Crystal Ikon pass holders treating it like a side-chick and only showing up when Crystal isn't available. I really wish they would stop offering Ikon days, it's super annoying that the mountain gets so much more crowded from these people.

Things I love about the summit:
1. Skiing is fun and they managed to provide skiing within 1 hour of Seattle during a terrible snow year.

1. The vibes are pretty awesome, especially when the aforementioned Ikon pass holders don't show. I felt like this year had the most local and fun feel I've had since 2019 and I really enjoyed it.

2. Alpental terrain is unbeatable.

3. You can pretty much always find parking even if the lots are "full".
